ann liang’s YA debut “if you could see the sun (2022)” and her next book “i hope this doesn’t find you (comes out feb 6th, 2024)”

i want to say that it’s amazing to see ann liang’s growth in comparison with her debut novel and watching her writing get more amazing is just 🥹

“alice would want to study on their date but henry would probably insist on going to a carnival or doing something more romantic. henry trying to impress her by winning all the carnival games, but she’d get super competitive about it and keep playing until she beats his score.”

you can hate on all my favorite books or characters and that’s okay like reading is a personal experience and everyone has different taste, one person’s masterpiece is another’s trash and vice versa. all of us has different opinions about books and that’s absolutely okay.

here’s my top 10 best reads of the year so far

“the world keeps making you choose between survival and martyrdom. no one should fault you for wanting to live.”

I JUST FINISHED READING LITTLE THIEVES!

🎨: nikittysan.

“when you have wealth, status, family, it’s easy to be a saint, it costs you nothing.”

“alice would be an english major and henry would likely be doing two degrees: something business-related and computer science. they’d meet up between classes and go to the library together, and henry would wait for her in the evenings just to walk her across campus.”
